: Formerly known as Magallon, its historical account started when a group of settlers from the island of Panay, passing upstream of Binalbagan River settled at the place they originally called Funda. With its population, many beautiful ladies were born, and the place was called du-og sang mga magayon. Likewise, the first settlers of the place were known to be very sensitive and furious when provoked. They were like an angry lion when enraged. The people living nearby were very cautious and often said  basi Maga Leon naman sila. The frequent usage of the term made an impact to people and Funda was customarily named Magalyon which later on hispanized as Magallon.
